Operation Instructions

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this

manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Operation of a vertical hoist involves more than pulling

the hand chain. The use of vertical hoists is subject to certain hazards that cannot be met

by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, common sense, and

experience in anticipating the motions that will occur as a result of operating the controls.

Before Operating Hoist

1. Familiarize yourself with all operating controls of the

hoist and with the operation(s) to be performed.

Instructions include the warnings on the hoist

and the safety and operating instructions

portion of this manual.

2. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY

FROM HOIST FAILURE:

Do not use damaged equipment.

If adjustments or repairs are necessary,

or any defects are known, have the

problem corrected before further use.

3. Do not operate a hoist with an out-of-order sign.

4. Only a qualified technician should

perform maintenance to the hoist.

5. Do not use the chain as a ground for welding.

Do not touch a welding electrode to the chain.

6. Only operate with hand power,

with no more than one operator per hand chain.

7. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.

The work area must not allow access by children

or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

8. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,

nearby that will present a hazard while working.

9. Inspect the hoist as explained in Frequent Inspection

on page 8 after installation but before use.

Applying the Load

1. Do not wrap the hoist chain around the load.

2. Attach the load to the load hook securely by

properly rated, suitable means, such as chains,

shackles, hooks, lifting slings, etc. Load must be

attached to prevent accidental disconnection.

Figure D: Correct and incorrect

load hook attachment

3. Properly seat the sling or other device

in the base (bowl or saddle) of the hook

(see the left side diagram on Figure D). Do not

allow the hook hitch to support any part of the load.

4. Do not apply the load to the point of the hook

(shown in Figure D on the right side diagram).

5. Before moving the load, make sure chains

are not kinked or twisted or that multiple part

chains are not twisted around each other.

6. Do not operate the hoist unless chain is seated

properly on the drum, pulleys, or sprockets.

7. Do not operate the hoist unless the hoist

unit is centered over the load.

8. Do not pick up a load in excess of the rated

load appearing on the hoist or load block,

except during properly authorized tests.

Do not use a hoist overload limiting device to

measure the maximum load to be lifted.

9. Give specific attention to load balancing and

hitching or slinging to prevent load slipping.

Moving the Load

1. Do not engage in any activity which will divert the

operator’s attention while operating the hoist.

2. Respond to signals from a designated person only.

However, always obey a stop signal,

no matter who gives it.

3. Do not lift or lower a load with the

hoist until the operator and all other

personnel are clear of the load.

4. Make sure the load and hoist will clear all

obstacles before moving or rotating the load.

5. Do not lift a load more than a few inches until it

is well balanced in the sling or lifting device.

6. Each time a load approaching rated capacity is

handled, check hoist brake action by lifting the

load just clear of supports and continuing only after

verifying that the brake system is operating properly.

7. WARNING! Do not carry any

load over any person.

8. WARNING! Do not carry personnel

on the hook or the load.

9. Avoid swinging the load or load hook

when traveling the hoist.

10. On trolley mounted hoists, avoid contact between

trolleys and between trolleys and stops.

Parking the Load

1. Do not leave a suspended load unattended

unless specific precautions have been

instituted and are in place.

2. Position the load block above head level

for storage when the hoist is not in use.

3. Exercise care when removing a sling from

under a landed and blocked load.

SAFETY OPERATION INSPECTIONINSTALLATION

Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must

be performed only by a qualified technician.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:

Remove any load before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:

Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,

have the problem corrected before further use.

Frequent Inspection

Perform the procedures in this section BEFORE

INITIAL USE and AT LEAST MONTHLY. Inspection

is needed more often for heavily used hoists.

1. Check operating mechanisms for proper operation,

proper adjustment, and unusual sounds

such as, but not limited to, binding noise

of the chain and bearing squeal.

2. Frequent Braking System Inspection

a. The braking system must automatically

stop and hold up to the rated load

if the hand chain is released.

3. Frequent Hook Inspection

Check hooks for the following problems:

a. distortion, such as bending, twisting,

or increased throat opening;

b. wear;

c. cracks, nicks, or gouges;

d. latch engagement (if equipped);

e. damaged or malfunctioning latch (if equipped);

f. hook attachment and securing means.

4. Frequent Hoist Load Chain Inspection:

a. Test the hoist under load in lifting and lowering

directions and observe the operation of the

chain and sprockets. The chain should feed

smoothly into and away from the sprockets.

b. If the chain binds, jumps, or is noisy,

first see that it is clean and properly

lubricated. If the trouble persists,

inspect the chain and mating parts for

wear, distortion, or other damage.

c. Examine visually for gouges, nicks,

weld spatter, corrosion, and distorted links.

Slacken the chain and move the adjacent links to

one side to inspect for wear at the contact points.

If wear is observed or if stretching is suspected,

the chain should be measured as follows:

1) Select an unworn, unstretched length

of the chain (e.g., at the slack end).

2) Suspend the chain vertically under tension and,

using a caliper-type gauge, carefully measure

the outside length of any convenient number

of links approximately 12″ to 24″ overall.

3) Carefully measure the same number of

links in the used sections and calculate

the percentage increase in length.

4) If the used chain is 2.5% longer than

the unused chain, replace the chain.

5. Check load chain reeving (the way

it threads through the hoist).

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment.

If any defect or damage is noted, have the problem corrected before further use.

Periodic (Thorough) Inspection

A qualified technician should perform

the procedures in this section

AT LEAST YEARLY. Inspection is needed

more often for heavily used hoists.

Remove or open access covers to

allow inspection of components.

1. First, follow all Frequent Inspection procedures.

Additionally:

2. Check fasteners for evidence of loosening.

Page 9For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.Item 62969

SAFETYOPERATIONINSPECTION INSTALLATION

3. Check load blocks, suspension housings,

hand chain wheels, chain attachments, clevises,

yokes, suspension bolts, shafts, gears, bearings,

pins, rollers, and locking and clamping devices for

evidence of wear, corrosion, cracks, and distortion.

4. Check hook retaining nuts or collars, and

pins, welds, or rivets used to secure the

retaining members for evidence of damage.

5. Check load sprockets, idler sprockets, drums,

and pulleys for evidence of damage and wear.

6. Check the brake mechanism for evidence of

worn, glazed, or oil contaminated friction disks;

worn pawls, cams, or ratchets;

and corroded, stretched, or broken pawl springs.

7. Check supporting structure or trolley,

if used, for evidence of damage.

8. Check warning label for legibility and replacement.

9. Check end connections of load chains for evidence

of wear, corrosion, cracks, damage, and distortion.

10. Check the hoist and hoist mounting

for evidence of missing parts.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment.

If any defect or damage is noted, have the problem corrected before further use.

Storage Inspection

1. A hoist that has been idle for a period of

a month or more, but less than a year,

must be inspected before being used according

to the Frequent Inspection requirements.

2. A hoist that has been idle for a period of a

year or more, must be inspected according

to the Periodic Inspection requirements and

then tested according to the procedure in the

Testing section below before being used.

Maintenance

1. Quarterly (every 3 months), clean off load chain,

then lubricate load chain links with lithium grease.

Apply grease to inner surfaces of load chain,

where the links rub against each other.

2. Repair or replacement of hoist components must be

performed only by a qualified technician using only

identical replacement parts with the same rating.

3. Operating mechanisms and brakes

may require adjustment.

4. Note the following regarding specific components:

a. Replace damaged or worn hooks and chains.

Do not repair them by welding or reshaping.

b. Replace or repair all critical parts

that are cracked, broken, bent,

excessively worn, or missing.

c. Replace missing or illegible warning labels.

5. Do not repair load-sustaining members by welding.

Replace them as needed.

6. Lubricate all moving parts regularly using grease.

7. After maintenance work is completed and before

restoring the hoist to normal operation:

a. reinstall guards;

b. reactivate safety devices;

c. remove replaced parts and loose material;

d. remove maintenance equipment.

Testing

1. Before use, test repaired hoists and hoists that

have not been used for a year or more.

2. Check all functions of the hoist, including lifting

and lowering, with the hoist unloaded first.

(This hoist may require a small load or pull on

the load hook to test lowering/extending.)

3. After testing in the unloaded state,

attach a 100 Ib. load and retest to check proper

load control and to check brake operation.
